Hey all,,,,
New to XP,,,just got a laptop w/ XP Prof. on it,,
(configured by the company IT guys). I tried to go to the
Windows Update site to have it scan me but I got
an "access denied" message from the website. Network
Policy settings prevent you from using Windows
Update......etc...
I'm betting it's some "security setting" our IT dept. has
on.
Can I change that and how?

Check with the IT gang. Some IT gangs intentionally disallow updates
(or try to) to control what users get on their PCs.
